Why the Studebaker Big Six Outsells all
other High Powered Cars
ON
NE-PROFIT production in big modern planta en. ables Studebaker to "sell the Big Six-a sturdy quality car, famous for power, endurance and long life
at a price far below other high-powered cars.
As a result, the Big Six not only in the United States, but throughout the world, outsells every other car of equal or greater rated horsepower
To the powerful engine and sturdy chassis, Studeba ker has added a body "so staunchly built, so finely: finished, that no car at any price excels it.
High quality at a low price is possible because Stude baker alone, in the fine car field, makes all its own engines, bodies, clutches, springs, axles, gear boxes, differentials, steering gears, gray iron castings and drop forgings. Studebaker saves the extra profits and overhead which others must pay to outside parts and body makers, Savings thus effected are returned to the purchaser in a. lower price.

Conqueror Of THE MONGOLIAN WILDS
Dr. Roy Chapman Andrews, who startled the world a few years ago by discovering a nest of dinosaur eggs ten million- years old, arrived in New York on November 9th from his Third Asiatic Expedition under the auspices of the American Museum of Natural History,
Again he attributes much of the success of his expedition to the astounding performance of his five Dodge Brothers Motor Cars.
Following is a direct quotation from an official statement by Dr. Andrews upon his return to America:
The Gobi Desert in Mongolia is the most extensive undeveloped and unexplored region now left in the world. Until a few years ago it was retarded by the impossibly slow traffic of camel trains, the only means of communication:
But now it is being crisscrossed in every direction by motor cars, or, more correctly by one motor car, the Dodge. Sixty or seventy Dodge Brothers cars are making regular trips far into the interior of this vast waste, bringing out loads of sables, precious furs, wool and other products.
No other car except the Dodge is found there because we have tried it out on each of our three expeditions and have had it demonstrated to our satisfaction that "the Dodge is the only car that will stand up under the strain of the roadless desert and do everything we ask of it."
Few people have occasion to subject their motor cars to pan of this severity. It is reassuring, however, to know in emergencies Dodge Brothers Motor Car is built to meet the test.
* 4*
These dependable and sturdy qualities also account for the fact that more than 90% of all the motor cars Dodge Brothers have built during the past eleven years, are still in active service.
